Valuein — SEC EDGAR Fundamentals & Smart-Money Data

Blockholders (SC 13D / 13G)

get_blockholders
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns SC 13D / SC 13G blockholder disclosures (5%+ stakes) for a US public company. Each row carries percent_owned, sole/shared voting + dispositive split, schedule_type, and the first-class going_active flag — TRUE when the same filer flipped 13G → 13D within the lookback window (the single most actionable activist signal in this dataset). Use latest_only=true (default) to dedupe to the most recent filing per filer. Use collapse_groups=true to fold multi-person filings into one row. Institutional tier only.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
tickerYesStock ticker symbol of the issuer — or a CIK (SEC identifier).
as_of_dateNoPIT filter on accepted_at — only filings on or before this date.
latest_onlyNoWhen true (default), keep only the most recent filing per (filer, schedule prefix) — typically what analysts want. Set false to see the full filing history.
lookback_daysNoWindow for the going_active (13G → 13D) detection. Default 365 days.
lineage_detailNoPer-row provenance envelope.compact
collapse_groupsNoWhen true, fold multi-reporting-person filings into a single row, with secondary persons in the ``persons[]`` field. Default false: each person stays as its own row.
schedule_filterNoWhich schedule(s) to return. '13D' = activist (intent to influence). '13G' = passive. 'both' = no filter.both

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds valuable behavioral context: the going_active flag semantics (13G→13D flip within the lookback window), the default deduplication behavior, the effect of collapse_groups, and the access tier restriction. These details go beyond what the annotations provide and help the agent predict tool behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is information-dense and well-front-loaded: the purpose appears in the first sentence, key output semantics and the most important flag follow immediately, then parameter usage guidance, then access tier. It is longer than average but every sentence adds substantive context. No filler or repetition is present, though the promotional phrase 'single most actionable activist signal' is slightly extraneous.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given a rich output schema and 100% parameter coverage, the description is complete enough for correct invocation. It covers the core semantics, default behaviors, access restriction, and the headline going_active signal. It does not discuss sorting or pagination, but those are typically conveyed in the output schema, and no critical operational detail is missing for a read-only data retrieval tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema already documents every parameter thoroughly. The description adds framing for the overall query concept and the going_active flag, but it mostly restates parameter effects already present in the schema (e.g., latest_only dedupe, collapse_groups folding). Since the schema carries the load, a baseline of 3 is appropriate; the description does not materially increase per-parameter understanding.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a clear, specific verb-resource pairing: 'Returns SC 13D / SC 13G blockholder disclosures (5%+ stakes) for a US public company.' It names the exact regulatory filings, the ownership threshold, and the issuer scope, which distinguishes it from sibling retrieval tools like get_top_holders and get_institutional_holdings. An agent can immediately understand what data this tool exposes and how it differs from related lookups.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description clearly communicates the intended use case (blockholder activist/passive ownership data) and provides explicit parameter usage guidance for latest_only, collapse_groups, and the going_active flag. It does not name alternatives directly or state when-not-to-use, but the specificity of the regulatory filing scope and the 'Institutional tier only' access note give clear context. This is slightly below the top tier because no sibling comparison is made.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
